so, I suppose I jut go into the Windows help directory and backing up files will be explained. I know a lot of people do this as a matter of course. I never have. I guess I've been lucky, but I really don't store a lot of stuff on a computer. The last couple of years, though, I've been lazy and let things accumulate. Maybe 150 pics, 100 documents and a whole bunch of stuff stored unintentionally. don't even know how that works. I just find it sometimes in windows Explorer. I usually just delete it on the spot.
You are making things toom hard.

Just make a folder on the ext hd, call it anything, lets say "Backupfolder".

Just go to your "My documents" and just go through the folders one at a time, there should be only 10 or so, like My Music, My Pictures, favorites etc.copy to "Backupfolder" go into your email and export to the same folder
